Question | Answer |
What are the factors that determine the rate of weathering? | Composition, physical conditions, climate, topography, air pollution, exposure time, surface area. |
Examples of physical weathering | Temperature, ice wedging, organic activity, Gravity, abrasion, exfoliation contraction |
Examples of chemical weathering | Water, acid, oxidation |
Weathering is | The breakdown of rocks |
Erosion is | The movement of broken rocks |
How/why does water cause chemical weathering | It dissolves minerals out of rocks making them weaker |
What is abrasion | Rocks rubbing against other rocks |
The more rounded a rock | The longer it is being tumbled or going through abrasion or in a stream/river |
Surface area | The greater it is and that the greater the area is exposed to agents the greater rate of weathering |
What is soil composed of | Rock and biological material |
What type of climate increases physical weathering | Cold |
What type of climate increases chemical weathering | Warm wet |
How do you tell what eroded a rock | Physical appearence |
What force causes mass movements | Gravity |
Where is a streams velocity the greatest (curved( | Outside |
Where is the streams velocity the greatest(straight) | Middle |
Where does deposition occur | Inside |
Where does erosion occur | Outside |
What is the relationship between velocity of a stream and the size of the particles it can carry | Faster velocity =larger particles |
Where do streams flow | Downhill |
What two factors influence the velocity of a stream | Slope and volume |
What does sorting look like | Slower flow of water smaller the particles |
What causes sorting | Waters velocity |
